Abstract Summary
The Forschungsdatenplattform by Stadt.Geschichte.Basel provides open access to diverse historical materials relating to the city of Basel. This presentation discusses the implementation of a transition pipeline to archive all metadata and associated files with DaSCH, leveraging its infrastructure for versioned, durable, and FAIR-compliant research data publication.
Our pipeline addresses critical sustainability challenges by:
- Harvesting and transforming metadata from Omeka to the DaSCH data model
- Implementing automated deposit and update routines via the DaSCH REST API
- Writing back stable DaSCH identifiers for transparency and citability
- Preserving hierarchical relationships and media metadata
This approach decouples the archival backend from the front-end presentation, ensuring long-term data accessibility while maintaining a lightweight public interface.
